Derek Vincent Smith, aka Pretty Lights, aka Andre the Giant, aka the unofficial god of glitch hop music, is back at it again. After immaculately fusing country with dubstep in “Country Roads”, delightfully remixing Led Zeppelin in “Dazed and Confused”, and then coming out of nowhere with a smokin’ hot dubstep release, “I Know the Truth”, Pretty Lights is rightfully blowing up. Not only is he tearing it up with the studio production, his live show is a multisensory, luminously sublime experience, hence the above photo. Smith brings us this …

New from Culprate is this edgy and in your face glitch hop track Finger featuring Linguistic. I was all thrown off as I thought this was posted to the UKF Dubstep YouTube channel but it was actually the UKF Music channel. Looks like they got a shiny new logo as well.
Available now on Inspected Records via Beatport.

Pretty Lights always seems to have the most badass videos to highlight his upcoming tracks. In this video is his concept track It’s Tricky, which arguably could be seen as a remix of the original by Run DMC. This new track is getting heavy promotion as it will be in the soundtrack for the upcoming EA Sports SSX video game.
Love it or hate it, you can’t deny Derek’s success – the man’s music is going to be in a video game after all!

KOAN Sound’s latest effort Funk Blaster EP just dropped on Sonny Moore’s OWSLA and is really blowing up everywhere. The EP is a crazy and wild ride through many electronic and bass genres, including glitch hop, drum n bass, and of course dubstep. The destination is a sound that sounds much like our beloved bass godfather Bassnectar!
Check out my favorite 100bpm track off the EP below:

Our favorite purple dinosaur Mochipet has transformed STS9′s jamtronica track When The Dust Settles into a glitchy and basstastic hit! I really love what he’s done with this track and am totally caught off guard.
For info on how to see Mochipet and STS9 live in our, check out Mochipet’s blog post and of course say hello to him on Facebook!

Bassnectar JUST uploaded his BBC mixtape to Soundcloud – the mix was originally recorded in 2010. The date is irelevant, as the beats are still sick and the bass is still fat! Enjoy this mixtape.
From the page:
We dropped by the BBC and Annie Nightingale was kind enough to play the mix before the show at Fabric. This is a live mix – there are many samples, loops, remixes & mashup bits, but the basic tracklist is below.
